Morin's Stack Rockets With Aces
A huge pot just went Matthew Morin's way!
Morin opened from middle position to 1,200,000 and Mikhail Sniatovskii three-bet from the small blind to 3,800,000. Once the action was back on Morin, he moved all in.
"How much is it?" asked Sniatovskii. Morin replied, "Around 17,". As Morin was counting, Sniatovskii slid in a stack and called.
Matthew Morin: A♠A♦ 
Mikhail Sniatovskii: Q♣Q♦
Morin had the rockets and was hoping they could make his stack blast off into orbit. The flop of 9♥6♠8♠ was clean for Morin and gave hiim a backdoor flush draw. Sniatovskii had two chances at two outs and missed the first attempt as the 9♣ hit the turn.
When the A♥ hit the river, Morin improved to a full house and went to celebrate with his rail, while Sniatovskii had to cough up the chips and was left with around 5,000,000.
